After being in South Dakota a week we were wondering how the plants were doing in the greenhouse. Really well. John also put some supports around the tomato plants. I photographed the cable over to the greenhouse that lifts the side off for ventilation, and John's clever pulley system made with odds and ends to do the lifting. A wooden stake keeps it from slipping when no one is around. The seeds planted outside are hardly coming up at all so the greenhouse really does make a difference.

When we were at Wind Cave on our trip I noticed a beautiful flower at the visitors center and Dave found the seeds for shooting stars at the next location, so we are going to start them in a pot at the greenhouse so we can bring them back to our house once they get established.

One little remarkable thing, is that after we arrived home and I finally tuned in to NPR on the computer the first interview I heard was of a ranger talking about buffalo at Custer State Park. I love little touches of synchronicity.
